During a recent interview with 69 Faces Of Rock, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth offered an update on the new Overkill album. According to him, the band are tentatively planning to release the effort in April 2023.
Ellsworth said the following:
“We didn’t record all the parts yet. We like to keep it as fresh as possible. The drums are done; the guitars are done. D.D. [Verni] and I need to sit down and finalize a few things. We’re looking for an April 2023 release, followed by a European tour.”
He also added the following about the record’s musical direction:
“It’s gonna be hard to figure it out for me until it actually takes shape. It seems a little bit more eclectic for us. It’s riff driven, not rhythm driven. The songs will contain two or three different riffs throughout it — the main [riff] and then two that are kind of secondary riffs, which I think is a little bit unique for us, to be singing over something like that. Heavy, of course. I mean, there’s some sledgehammer stuff on it — that kind of big, thick groove. I think the other side of it is that it shows kind of experienced speed, would be the word. Some of them just take off.”
